Chapter 989 Using one’s body as bait
After Xin Yue married into the Yun family, the Yun family's dinner table became more lively.

Among the family's female members, there are only two male members, Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian. Once the door is closed, they become outspoken and even tease the newlyweds at the dinner table.

Yun Ye had been influenced by the information in his previous life and didn't care about this level of dirty jokes.

Xin Yue, on the other hand, was teased by her aunts and uncles at home so much that she couldn't even raise her head. She could only blush, lower her head, and eat the rice grain by grain without any appetite.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up her cane and drove those shameless aunts out, and the situation finally became peaceful.

However, the little girls were still a little noisy.

Although they don't understand matters between men and women, they still understand the most basic kissing and hugging.

Seeing Xin Yue so shy, Runniang sat next to Xin Yue, came in front of him, and said something with a smile.

Yun Ye glanced at her, put down his chopsticks, and snorted, "It's almost the same. I don't know who was hanging around Uncle Qin yesterday. I've loved you for so long, but I've never seen you pick out fish bones for me. Why did you think of picking out fish bones for Uncle Qin yesterday?"

"Tsk tsk, you pick out fish bones so carefully, grandma, has Runniang ever picked out fish bones for you?"

Yun Ye turned his head to look at the old lady, and what he said made Run Niang blush and remain speechless.

Seeing this scene, Yun Ye was still not satisfied and continued, "If you ask me, the second son of the Qin family is really not a good guy. He seduced my sister and made her lose her mind. This is unacceptable. When I return to the academy, I will definitely give him a good lesson!"

Runniang became anxious and glared at Yunye in shame and anger, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only look to Lin Zhongtian and the old lady for help.

"Sir! Grandma!"

Lin Zhongtian waved his hand and said, "This is a family matter. Yun Ye is the one who makes the decision. There is no point in asking me."

The old lady said with a smile: "Grandma, I think Shuang Ge'er is a good person. If it can be successful, grandma will not object. The Qin family has always been kind and is a good relative..."

Yun Ye said calmly: "Although Qin Shuang has a lively personality, she is kind-hearted. If they are in love and the Qin family sends someone to propose marriage, then I have no objection. But if the Qin family keeps silent, there is no need for my Yun family's daughter to rush to pay for it."

"I'm saying this today to remind you to be careful. If you two do something ridiculous and the Qin family doesn't intend to take responsibility, then if I, your brother, do something excessive, it will be blamed on you!"

Runniang was stunned for a moment, lowered her head in disappointment, and nodded as if she understood.

The old lady was shocked and immediately frowned, looking at Yun Ye suspiciously.

She couldn't understand why her grandson suddenly became so tough after just one night, and even looked down on the noble Qin family.

Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but shift her gaze, passing Yun Ye and glancing at the man in black wearing a cloak in the corner of the room.

After the meal, the old lady kept Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian, and looked at the man in black in the corner and asked directly:
"Xiaoye, Xiaotian, who is this?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said frankly: "This is my wedding gift to my junior brother."

The old lady was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Give it to someone?!"

Yun Ye quickly explained: "He is not a human."

The old lady asked blankly: "What is that?"

Yun Ye looked at Lin Zhongtian helplessly, and asked with gritted teeth: "Grandma, have you ever heard of the wooden ox and flowing horse?"

The old lady was slightly startled, then she suddenly realized.

Yun Ye breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "This thing is like the wooden ox and the flowing horse, it is a mechanical puppet. Senior brother took great pains to collect the essence of gold and iron from the world's famous mountains and peaks to forge this thing."

As he spoke, Yun Ye lifted the black cloth on the black-clothed man's head, revealing a metal face with only eye sockets.

The old lady was startled again, and walked forward while suppressing her fear, reaching out to touch the cold mask.

"It is indeed made of gold and iron!"

The old lady said in surprise.

Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian looked at each other.

Since Yun Ye wanted to use this item to guard the house, he couldn't hide it from the old lady who had the most say in the family. At least he had to make up a story to make the old lady accept the fact that this item existed in the house.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye smiled and said, "To be honest, once this thing is activated, it will be invulnerable to swords and spears. In the battle formation, it will be more courageous than ten thousand men and can defeat ten thousand troops!"

"As long as he is here, my Yun family will be safe and sound, and there will be no more danger."

"Good good!"

The old lady's face was full of excitement and she did not doubt Yun Ye's words at all.

Yun Ye smiled and said, "I have named him Yun Wei. Grandma, you can call him by his name in the future to avoid revealing his true identity."

The old lady smiled and nodded, "Grandma saved it."

Yun Ye turned his head and looked at the steel armored 'Yun Wei' and said softly: "Come and recognize my grandma."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light flashed in Yun Wei's eyes. He scanned the old lady's body and entered it into the user information.

However, compared with Yun Ye’s registration process, the old lady only scanned her irises, which was a process with lower authority.

The old lady naturally didn't know about these things. When she saw the blue light in Yun Wei's eyes, she was startled for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

"It is indeed a treasure of the immortals, it is magical!"

Yun Ye smiled and said, "If a senior brother accompanies me in the future, I will leave it at home. Grandma, you can order it at will. Not only is it used for guarding and killing people, but even ordinary housework and cleaning, it is also quite proficient!"

"How can that be possible!"

The old lady shook her head repeatedly, carefully stroking Yun Wei's visor, and said stubbornly: "The immortal family's treasures should not be touched lightly."

Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian looked at each other and said helplessly, "Okay, it's up to you!"

……

……

After leaving the house, Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian walked side by side. Lin Zhongtian glanced at Yun Ye beside him and said, "This thing is loaded with 300 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets and nine Sidewinder missiles. Is it really okay to leave it next to the old lady?"

Yun Ye smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have locked up all the heavy weapons and thermal weapons, leaving only a palm cannon. Besides, with grandma's level of cognition, it is impossible for her to give him the order to fire."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "I'm glad you've considered it."

Yun Ye smiled and stretched. He was just about to say goodbye and go find Xin Yuen when a servant suddenly came to report that Hong Cheng from the Baiqi Division was here to visit.

"Come at this time?"

Yun Ye was somewhat dissatisfied, but considering that the Baiqi Division was directly under the emperor, he still had to go and meet the guest.

When they arrived at the front lobby, Hong Cheng saw Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian walking side by side, and he actually bent his knees and knelt down.

Yun Ye was startled and quickly stepped forward to hold Hong Cheng's arm.

"Old Hong, what are you singing about?"

"..."

Hong Cheng was helped to stand up by Yun Ye. He was surprised at Yun Ye's strength at first, and then said with a wry smile: "Marquis Yun, sir, please help me persuade His Majesty. His Majesty knew that Dou Yanshan was lurking in the city and two Eight Ox Crossbows were missing, but he still insisted on going to the academy incognito. I, Old Hong, can't stop him!"

Yun Ye was speechless and said, "You are still running around at this time. What is your majesty thinking?"

Hong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "The holy heart is like an abyss. How can I know what your majesty thinks?"

Yun Ye smiled and said, "For something like persuasion, you should go find a professional tough guy, like Wei Zheng, why are you looking for me?"

Hong Cheng glanced at Lin Zhongtian, then approached the two of them and whispered, "The matter of Dou Yanshan is top secret. In the court and outside, apart from my Hundred Cavalry Division, only you and Mr. Lin know about it."

"If I don't come to you, will I tell this top secret to others?"

"Brother, I only have one head, and I haven't lived long enough!"

Yun Ye nodded and said, "That's true."

Hong Chengxi asked happily, "Did Lord Yun agree?"

Yun Ye glanced at him and said, "When did I agree? His Majesty must have his own considerations for going to Yushan Academy at this time. Maybe he is using himself as bait to lure out Dou Yanshan and Ba Niu Crossbow."

Hong Cheng was shocked: "This is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty's body is worth millions of gold, how can it be used as bait?"

Yun Ye said calmly: "You mean, Your Majesty did something wrong?"

Hong Cheng was startled, and then he broke into a sweat, and quickly explained: "No, that's not what I mean. Your Majesty is a wise king, so he will not make mistakes. It's just that the bait..."

Hong Cheng was not good at speaking and he couldn't come up with an excuse at this moment. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

Yun Ye laughed loudly, raised his hand and patted Hong Cheng, saying: "Don't be nervous, I understand what you mean. Go back and tell His Majesty that Lantian Marquis Yun Ye will take his newlywed wife to go out for an outing outside the city in two days. There should be only one guard accompanying them."

When talking about "outing outside the city" and "a guard", Yun Ye emphasized it.

Hong Cheng stared at Yun Ye in a daze, totally not understanding what Yun Ye meant.

Yun Ye had no choice but to turn around and look at Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and explained, "My junior brother's intention is to let the emperor stay in Yushan Academy with peace of mind. He will take care of the bait. You just need to go back and tell him what he said, and don't worry about the rest."

Hong Cheng finally understood and bowed to Yun Ye with gratitude on his face.

After the ceremony, Hong Cheng patted his chest and vowed, "Don't worry, Lord Yun. I will order people to set up many checkpoints and ensure that Lord Yun and Madam Xin will not be harmed in the slightest!"

Yun Ye said helplessly: "Old Hong, you still don't understand, right?"

Hong Cheng was stunned for a moment: "I understand!"

"You know nothing!" Yun Ye glared at him and said unhappily, "If this is to be accomplished, the Hundred Cavalry Division cannot intervene. On the contrary, you have to surround the academy with great fanfare and let Dou Yanshan guess that His Majesty is in Yushan."

"Only in this way will Dou Yanshan abandon His Majesty and turn his attention to me who is defenseless."

Hong Cheng said in a daze: "But in this case, wouldn't Yun Hou be in great danger?"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized something and said, "Could it be that the guard that Yun Hou mentioned is actually Mr. Lin?"

This makes sense. With Lin Zhongtian's protection, they can defeat thousands of troops.

Just when Hong Cheng thought he had guessed the truth, Lin Zhongtian shook his head.

"I can't go. The Dou family also has connections in the academy. As the eldest son of the Dou family, Dou Yanshan must know of my existence. He will only bite the hook with confidence when he sees me in the Yun family."

Hong Cheng was confused: "Then how can you ensure your own safety, Yun Hou?"

Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian looked at each other, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this!"

After seeing off Hong Cheng, who was full of doubts, Lin Zhongtian stood at the front door, looking at the street outside and whispered, "Do you really want to do this?"

"You have to think clearly. If Dou Yanshan sets up an ambush and shoots arrows at you, even if you have steel armor, it may not be able to protect you and your sister-in-law if you can't put it on immediately."

Yun Ye smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I can still afford this risk."

"Besides, I did this for the Yun family. Dou Yanshan secretly got the Eight Oxen Crossbow, which made the emperor upset. But it wasn't just him who was upset. I was also regarded as an enemy by Dou Yanshan."

"If I can't remove this poisonous sting, the Yun family will never live in peace in the future!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Then this matter depends on you!"

"Remember, when it's time to draw your gun, don't hesitate. Even if someone from the Hundred Cavalry Division sees you, it doesn't matter."

Yun Ye felt warm in his heart and smiled: "Don't worry, I understand!"
